Moraux, A., et al. "An anatomical study of the indirect tendon of the rectus femoris using ultrasonography." European radiology 25.12 (2015): 3614-3619.

Proximal MTJ

• Direct head arises from the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS).

• Indirect head arises from the superior acetabular ridge and the posterolateral aspect of the hip joint capsule.

• The two heads form a conjoined tendon about 2 cm distal to their origin.

Note that although this diagram implies purity of each of proximal tendons, there is a 10% overlap between the tendinous fibers.

Illustration of a right third head (tendon recurrent du droit ant.) of the rectus femoris muscle from [9] (with permission). Note also the relationship between this head and the gluteus minimus muscle (petit fessier).

A schematic is shown of the various patterns of the layers of the quadriceps tendon.

(A) A sagittal section of the patella and its relation to the quadriceps and patellar tendons is illustrated.

(B) Bilaminar(C) Trilaminar(D) Quadrilaminar patterns of the

quadriceps tendon are shown.

R = Rectus femoris, L = Vastus lateralis, M = Vastus medialis, I = Vastus intermedius.

Classification• Our classification system for RF

injuries:• Capable to describe injuries location

and chronology,

• easy clinical application,

• adequate grouping of injuries with similar functional impairment, and provide potential prognostic value,

• to enhance communication between professionals and facilitate rehabilitation and RTP.

Page 10: Xavier Valle: Rectus Femoris

This evidence-informed and expert consensus-based classification system based on a 4-letter initialism system

Page 11: Xavier Valle: Rectus Femoris
Page 12: Xavier Valle: Rectus Femoris

Direct Injuries

• Severity depends on the site of impact, the activation status of the muscles involved (Hayashi 2012).

• Size of direct muscle injuries is not well correlated with clinical signs and functional impairment (Lee 2012).

• Better evolution with shorter time to recovery in comparison to indirect injuries (Thorsson 1997).

(Hayashi 2012).

Size (%CSA), site and anatomical location (tendon affectation) have influence on quadriceps muscle injuries prognosis, being the tendon affectation the most significant predictor of the time loss.

M (Mechanism)

• Describes the mechanism of injury:

• Direct injuries T

• Indirect injuries I

» Negative MRI injuries N

Mechanism

Page 22: Xavier Valle: Rectus Femoris

L (Location)

• Is a letter regarding the anatomical location:

• P, M or D For injuries located at the proximal, middle or distal anatomical third of the muscle belly.

• We also describe the injury relation with the proximal or distal MTJ adding a subindex P or D.

» For MRI negative injuries we will describe pain location.

Kerr, R. M. MRI Web Clinic—May 2014.

• For the proximal MTJ we describes if the injury locates • conjoined tendon P

• at the direct P1

• indirect P2

R (Re-injury)

• Describes the injury chronology (first episode or a re-injury):

• R0: First episode,

• R1: First re-injury, R2: Second re-injury… and so on.

• A re-injury (R) is defined as an injury of the same type and location as the index injury occurring during the first 2 months after return to full competition (Ekstrand 2011).

• Injuries affecting the same MTJ, its intramuscular tendon or fibers associated with it (even in a different location), will also be considered a re-injury.

Schematic representation of the pathophysiology in strain injury involving the deep intramuscular tendon of the indirect head.

A note the normal pattern of fibers arising from the deep intramuscular tendon of the indirect head.

B acutely, muscle fibers tear from the tendon and retract distally, with hemorrhage into the space created.

C chronically, this area organizes into a fibrous encasement of the deep tendon with muscle fibers attaching to the scar and serous fluid envelops the tendon and its encasement. The tendon remains intact throughout this injury site.

Practice and Research Gaps• With a 4-letter initialism system we can

describe the injury anatomical location and relation with ECM.

• Easy to use, and avoid confusing

terminology.

• Allows communication among medical staff.

• Flexible structure allowing to incorporate new knowledge in the future.
